Next Wednesday, October 7. the
election of state and county officers
takes ;.luce and we would earnestly
urge every democrat in the county
who has the interest of his state at
heart, go to die polls and vote
the straight ticket. It may be tha1
you are not pi, used with some of
th 7 * candidates and feel loth to vou
for them, hut you should bear in
mind that more depends upon the
success of the democratic piarty in
Georgia than jou can afford to
j* op auiize for the sake of personal
ill-will toward one or more of the
party nominees. You have a duf ;
to perform regardless of personal
pique, and your patriotism should be
pushed fonv,. this instance at
the sacrifice etc a el more important
interests than political animosities.
This is a time when you owe it
to the party regardless of any
man or set of men, to stand, by the
the banner of democracy, and we
respectful y urge you to go to the
pods and vote and work for the
success of the ticket on Wednesday

The straight ticket will suit

Highest of all in Leavening Strength.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
COMMUNICATED,
Editor Weekey:— Please al¬
low me space in your columns
to reply to a communication
which appears in the Rockdale
Banner of Oct. 1st, signed ‘ Non
partisan,” in which the writer
takps occasion to advise the vo¬
ters of Rockdale county to
support my opponent on the
ground of incompetency on ray
part, asserting that I have no
legal ability and am not a “rep¬
resentative man ”
In replying to this charge I
wish to state to the voters of
my county that 1 lay no claims
to “legal ability,” but from
choice cast my lot with the till¬
ers of the soil, which, accord¬
ing to the logic of “Nonparti¬
san,” would disqualify me or
any other man for the office of
representative unless he be of
the legal profession.
Now, I shall attempt to re¬
ply to this lengthy communica¬
tion only in part. As regards
myself and my ability I prefer
that the voters of Rockdale
county shall speak.
.As concerns Mr. Irwin, for
whom this strong plea is made,
and who is held up before the
public as the great embodiment
of wisdom and ability, I have
this to say: He has figured
among our people as farmer,
merchant and lawyer ; in which
of these has he developed such
great powers of mind? Did he
succeed as farmer? Did he suc¬
ceed as merchant? Has he
risen to emminence in the legal
profession? If so the public
has failed to take cognizance of
the fact. The inference, there¬
fore, to be drawn from “Non¬
par! isan’s” argument is that
when a man fails at all else he
is qualified for the office of rep¬
resentative.
As to the writer of this cow¬
ardly communication, coming
on the very eve of the election,
and published in a journal
where 1 will have no chance to
reply, and the author hiding
himself behind a nom deplume,
I am satisfied the public will
treat him as all traitors deserve.
Stating in one sentence that he
is a democrat, and signing him¬
self “Nonpartisan” brands him
as a man unworthy the confi¬
dence and esteem of any one, as
well as respectable notice.
As Mr, Irwin has failed so far
to publicly disclaim the state¬
ments and insinua tions of “Non
partisan” the public is to infer
that the article in the Banner
meets his approval and that he
is virtually responsible for it,
and should be held so by the
public until he disclaims it.
Faking this view of it Mr. Ir¬
win falls from the exalted plane
of honesty his “Nonpartisan”
friend places him and stoops to
permit Ins own questionable
virtues to be paraded and at
the same time tries to under¬
value the merits of others.
Now the plain question is: Is
Col. Irwin a representative man?
If so in what? If I am not
why, and in what respect? Is
it true that between us Mr. Ir¬
win is the one honest man? If
this is not “Nonpartisan's”
view why is it he is so careful
to direct so much attention to
l this one point of honesty in Ir
win? Could it not be inferred
that it ... efiort to fortify _ .*
is an a
weak po>nt? It may be a re-
1 cent discovery, that he is lion
t i
est, on the part of “Nonparti¬
san. ”
As for niv own part I have
never insinuated that Mr.
Irwin was dishonest, it has
been unnecessary, nor has it
been necessary for “Nonparti
san” to boast of his honesty or
Irwin’s and berate mine.
Respectfully,
R. H. Cannon.

The Use of Leather.
Somet mes 1 have wondered and asked
myself whether
The people could possifly do without
leather.
It’s used, in the wallet that carries your
cash,
And you’ve posibly found it in board¬
inghouse hash;
You’ll find it in looking your library
through ;
It’s made inti saddles forbieycl s tio;
There’s leather in hundreds of things
that you use,
But the best is always put into our
shoes.

The Rome Hustler, Mr. Wright’s
home newspaper, is handling the
populist candidate for Governor with
out gloves. It charges Mr. Wright
with seeking to foster the barroom
business in Rome, and reproduces
grand jury persentments, of that
county,condemnatory of Mr. W right’s
unsatisfactory services as a county
official of Floyd county. The Hus¬
tler is red hot and declares that Mr
